The Blogger Android App Gets A Much-Needed Update

Google is rolling out an updated version of the Blogger Android app, alongside a fresh novel look. The app is all the same pretty simple, but it runs smoothly without crashing.
That may seem similar a depression bar for excitement, but the terminal version was released inward early on 2016, which is a long fourth dimension inward mobile app years. That onetime version would crash repeatedly on my outcry upwards running Android 10.  So also the shiny interface changes, it's been updated nether the hood.  "What's New" inward the Google Play Store listing just says "minor põrnikas fixes", which doesn't actually bring the update.
The app is all the same real basic, designed to allow y'all post, edit, save, as well as stance weblog posts. Blogger is also testing out a novel mobile-friendly design for www.blogger.com, but that is non yet available for the postal service editor, as well as hence the mobile app volition arrive much easier to postal service from your phone.

What y'all cannot do:
  • Create a novel blog

  • View your blog’s stats
To stance your blog's Stats or grapple comments on your phone, try out the novel mobile-friendly Blogger design.

Be certain to ship feedback from within the app to allow Blogger know what features y'all would similar to get got available.
